Boling said his Racer Tech components made the difference on the difficult course. With 87 entries on the rough and gnarly course, Boling needed every advantage he could get.
“The Racer Tech high clearance A-arms
and all of the chassis components made it
possible to compete on this rough course,”
said Boling. “To run with these factory
guys doing it as an independent is very humbling.
I’d like to say thank you to my wife.
We’ve had a difficult week; we lost
two family members this week. She wanted me
to run here.”

John Yokley pilots his new Jack's Racing Can-Am Maverick at the Wild Boar GNCC |
John Yokley switched to a Can-Am this year with the Jack’s Racing Team and was running in the lead when a mechanical issue stopped his charge within a mile of the finish.
“The Racer Tech suspension components worked awesome out there,” said Yokley. “I took a couple laps to get in the flow of the track. The track was rough; there were a lot of whooped out sections and palmetto roots. We took the lead, but had a mechanical issue, but that won’t happen again. We’ll be back strong at South Carolina.”

Joe Kreclich earned second in the UTV Pro-Am Class |
Joe Kreclich finished second in the UTV XC2 Class race. “The Can-Am and Racer Tech stuff was flawless today,” said Krechlich. “I was nervous as I could be about the course. If it wasn’t for the Racer Tech A-Arms, we would have ripped the suspension off of this thing. I wish I had won, but I’ll take a second any day on a day like today. It was brutal out there. I just didn’t want a DNF here, so to get a podium is great. We’ll take this on to the next race at Big Buck.”

John Henry finished fourth in the UTV XC2 Pro-Am Class |
Coastal Racing / Racer Tech’s John Henry drove a conservative race in XC2 and finished fourth. “We survived…It was really a game of survival,” said Henry. “The track was brutal. We saw a lot of carnage, backed off and tried to make it to the finish. If it wasn’t for the Racer Tech equipment, it probably wouldn’t have made it. I’m just happy to finish that race.”

Sam Yokley claimed fourth in the Single Seat Class |
Sam Yokley and Jesi Stracham drove their Racer Tech equipped Polaris Aces to a fourth and fifth-place finish, respectively, in the single seat race.
